Born Into Villain's Family: I Have a 200\% Rebate System

Chapter 617: Strange Hospital Name

’If only... if only it had really been someone important...’ Her chest tightened painfully. ’Anyone but him...’

She had once desperately hoped that the child’s father might be someone powerful... someone from Adam’s circle.

But now, that fragile hope had long been shattered, leaving behind only frustration and humiliation.

Taking a deep breath, she steadied herself and looked at the cleaner coldly.

"I’ll give you five hundred thousand dollars," she said firmly. "In exchange, you disappear from my life. Never contact me again."

The cleaner raised an eyebrow, clearly amused. "Why would I give up my own child?" he asked, his tone almost mocking.

He straightened slightly, his expression turning arrogant.

"You’re looking down on me now, aren’t you?" he continued. "But mark my words... one day, I’ll be more successful than Adam."

His voice grew colder as he added, "And when that day comes, you’ll come begging me to accept this child... but I won’t."

Maria’s anger reached its peak, her entire body trembling.

She pointed at him, her voice sharp and filled with venom. "Believe it or not, I can get rid of this child right now!"

Seeing the cleaner fall silent, Maria felt a thrill rush through her veins.

She slowly curled her lips into a smile before leaning closer toward him.

"If you truly want to make sure that this child doesn’t get aborted, then you need to do something for me."

The cleaner hesitated and looked at her nervously.

Maria noticed the fear in his eyes, and that only made her even more satisfied.

"I have an excellent plan."

Her voice lowered into a whisper as she revealed everything to him.

The cleaner listened carefully, though the more he heard, the paler his face became.

His breathing turned uneven, and several times he instinctively glanced around as if afraid someone might overhear them.

"This... this is dangerous..."

Maria immediately interrupted him with a cold smile.

"As long as you agree, your baby will live like a king for the rest of his life. You won’t have to worry about money ever again."

The moment those words left her mouth, the cleaner’s eyes flashed with greed and hesitation at the same time.

His throat bobbed slightly before he stared directly at Maria.

"Are... are you telling the truth?"

Maria calmly nodded.

"Of course I am. Why would I lie to you about something like this?"

The cleaner fell silent again.

However, the moment he thought about money, his hesitation slowly disappeared.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and looked at Maria.

"I... I will do it."

Maria’s smile immediately blossomed wider.

"Good decision."

With that, she turned around and walked away from the parking lot.

The next day, Maria confidently returned to the office building.

However, the moment she tried entering, security stopped her immediately.

"Miss Maria, your access has already been revoked."

Her expression darkened instantly.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Move aside."

"I’m sorry, but we received direct orders."

The surrounding employees secretly glanced toward her while whispering among themselves.

Maria could only clench her fists tightly before forcing herself to calm down.

For the next few weeks, she remained unusually quiet and did not make any major moves, which made Adam and Mary secretly chuckle in amusement.

Soon, the day of the annual company gathering arrived.

As expected, Maria managed to enter the banquet hall using the fake imitation card the cleaner had secretly prepared for her.

When she handed the card to the guard, the man frowned suspiciously while examining it carefully.

"This card looks unfamiliar..."

Maria forced herself to remain calm despite her racing heartbeat.

"It was newly issued."

The guard continued staring at her for several long seconds before finally stepping aside.

"You may enter."

The moment Maria walked inside, she secretly let out a relieved breath while tightly clutching the purse in her hand.

Once inside, she deliberately kept a low profile.

She stayed hidden among the crowd, carefully waiting for the perfect opportunity.

Finally, Adam and Mary walked onto the stage together.

The hall instantly fell silent.

Standing beneath the bright golden lights, Adam gently held Mary’s hand while speaking into the microphone.

"I love my wife very much."

Mary looked at him with slight surprise while Adam continued calmly.

"She stayed beside me when I had nothing. Back then, I was poor, powerless, and struggling, but she never abandoned me. No matter what happens in the future, the only person I will continue loving is her."

The moment Maria heard those words, jealousy exploded violently inside her chest.

’Very soon... very soon that love will belong to me too.’

Suddenly, Maria raised her voice.

"If you love her so much, then why did you knock me up?!"

Every single guest turned toward her in shock.

Maria nervously walked toward the stage while deliberately forcing tears into her eyes.

She wore an expression filled with grievance and heartbreak as though she had suffered endless pain.

"You kept saying it was because you loved your wife, but what about me? What about your mistress?!"

The crowd immediately erupted into whispers.

"Mistress?"

"What’s going on?"

Maria pointed directly at Adam with trembling fingers.

"Adam and I have been secretly dating since high school! Even back when he was poor, I stayed beside him and supported him through everything!"

Her voice became louder and more emotional.

"I asked him countless times to marry me, but he always refused because he said he didn’t have enough money yet! But now that he’s rich, he suddenly married another woman instead!"

Some guests immediately began looking at Adam differently.

"So even a man like him could do something like this..."

"Hah, rich people really are complicated."

"If a man acts too perfect, then something is definitely wrong with him."

Meanwhile, Mary frowned deeply before looking directly at Maria.

"What proof do you have?"

Maria immediately looked toward Mary with resentment.

"I already contacted you before this! I even showed you proof! But instead of helping me, you sided with him and even forced him to throw me out of the company! How can you be so vicious?!"

As she spoke, Maria hurriedly rummaged through her purse before pulling out several folded papers.

"This is the proof!"

Without hesitation, she threw the papers toward the crowd dramatically.

"I didn’t want to expose this publicly, but all of you forced me into this situation!"

One of the employees quickly bent down and picked up the papers.

However, the moment he read the report, his expression instantly changed.

"What..."

Soon, several other employees surrounded him and started reading the papers as well. Murmurs immediately spread throughout the hall.

"It’s a DNA report..."

"Oh my God..."

Maria secretly relaxed slightly after seeing their reactions.

Meanwhile, Adam remained completely calm. His expression did not change in the slightest as he looked at Maria coldly.

"I’ll give you ten seconds."

His calm voice instantly silenced the crowd again.

"If you admit your crime right now, I won’t press charges against you. However, if you continue forcing my hand, then don’t blame me for being heartless toward a pregnant woman."

Hearing the certainty in his voice made Maria shiver internally for a moment.

Fear crept into her chest, but the moment she remembered that the cleaner had already handled everything carefully, she forced herself to remain calm.

She lifted her chin arrogantly.

"Go ahead and do whatever you want. I would never stay together with a man like you anyway. A man who got me pregnant but refuses to take responsibility."

The crowd immediately became even noisier after hearing her accusation.

However, at that exact moment, one of the employees suddenly threw the DNA report onto the ground angrily.

Maria initially thought he was about to support her, but instead, the employee pointed directly at her furiously.

"Do you really think everyone here is stupid?!"

Maria’s expression stiffened instantly.

The employee continued angrily.

"This DNA report clearly states that it came from Lakalaka Hospital. But the problem is..."

He raised the paper higher for everyone to see.

"There is no hospital called Lakalaka Hospital at all! It’s completely fake!"

The moment those words were spoken, the surrounding employees immediately nodded in agreement.

Soon, whispers rapidly spread throughout the banquet hall once again.

"So the report is fake?"

"She forged the DNA test?"

"This woman is insane..."

"Just because Mr. Adam is loyal and doesn’t even look in another woman’s direction, some women truly become crazy..."

The moment those words spread through the banquet hall, several people immediately nodded in agreement.

"I truly feel pity for Mr. Adam."

"Exactly. He only focuses on his wife, yet he still got dragged into this kind of scandal."

"Some people really have no shame."

Meanwhile, Adam and Mary exchanged faint, amused glances. Neither of them appeared flustered anymore.

Instead, they looked almost calm, which only made Maria panic even more.

Her breathing became uneven as she hurriedly rushed forward and snatched the DNA report from the employee’s hands.
